I found that interesting. My coworker is playing around with that exploiut now. Looking at it, it may be exploiting a hole in the chip's palcode, which can be easily fixed with a firmware upgrade. In any case, it should be fixable. More specifically, system calls are performed via a trap through the palcode.
